I had a naked iPhone 4 for over 2 years.. Not a single scratch on the back. Dropped it a couple of times over that period, too.

and i'm sure that some people will have a nexus 4 for 2 years and it will be in impeccable quality, still isn't a good idea...

 

[giga]

Well, I had to buy another phone. I've been without my iPhone since I sold it and I can't take another three weeks or so waiting on this. I really expected to have it by now, but all this shit changed plans. God damn it.

Edit: I didn't cancel the order though. I can re-evaluate when it eventually comes…

 

[ravien56]

I also had my play store status go from estimate of November 15 to pending.

[Cyrillus]

So my phone is at home waiting for me to get off work (2 more hours!!!)...however, I have been having a hell of a time trying to order a Straight Talk SIM online. Both straighttalk.com and walmart.com are giving me payment errors, and I can't figure out why. I've had no problem ordering items from other online stores as recently as yesterday, and Walmart support just says to log in to my account and verify my billing info, which is correct. They said they will "get back to me in 3-5 days" so I may have a phone on no network until some time next week. Kinda shitty, but I will still attempt to post impressions of the non-phone aspects of the...phone.

Why didn't you get a 5 again? No off contract?

 

[criesofthepast]

Order from where? It's sold out. :/

Hope LG starts selling them in other stores.

 

[giga]

Yeah they don't sell it unlocked.

Not in the UK it isn't...

I hope you didn't pay 400£ for it!!

 

[bjscott05]

Yep, my order is pending now.

Damn googly, I need my phone!

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Yeah, I think 3G is good enough for me.

 

[Goldrush]

Would the bumper defeat the purpose of the curve at the edge of the screen?

 

[The Faceless Master]

and i'm sure that some people can live in a glass house and it will be in impeccable quality, still isn't a good idea...

 

[Jazzy Network]

Starting to like it more. The build quality is amazing. I'm still peeved at the lack (and minimal) Facebook integration. I'll probably just use this or my S3 depending on which phone I feel like using in the morning.

Mobile Tech Review video review

 

[The Faceless Master]

OK, either I'm really careless or Gorilla Glass 2 isn't all that great because there are multiple noticeable scratches on the front screen now and I've literally only had it for 4 days.

It's kind of funny because my other phones previously (htc sensation, htc radar) doesn't have any scratches on the screen and I subjected them to the same thing I'm doing with my N4, which is leave on desk at work / put in pant pocket with my wallet. Never with keys or coins or other scratch-able surfaces.

got any sand in your pockets?

Peanuts.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Order changed from estimated shipping date to pending, too.

Why did people sell their phones in advance of even ordering the N4? There were no preorders, no time of the store opening, no idea of stock, no idea of demand, the newest hotness at a radically cheap price.

i can believe it. i seriously doubt the phone sold anywhere near what you'd think it sold given the shipping delays and other problems with this launch. isnt kentucky the warehouse where all north american shipments come out of? 17000 is nothing for day 1.

 

[tigerin]

Is pending a good thing?

Yeah, I think 3G is good enough for me.

this is ridiculous. i'm getting 2mb on my Iphone 4 in SF. Damn you AT&T!!!!!

 

[Hieberrr]

I love the phone, but the stock launcher sucks! Apex ftw (or Nova too if you're into it). The only real complaint I have is that the screen is actually too big. Yeah, I said it. It's huge to the point where its becoming uncomfortable lol.

And the damn protectors the phone came with suck. It just wont stay on. My case (coming from Hong Kong via eBay) needs to come faster (it'll take another week or two)!

Ha, in Houston I was lucky to pull 2mb 3g on Verizon, thankfully I picked up the 5 and 19mb is generally what I pull now, sometimes more on LTE.

 

[Brinbe]

Hooray, shipped out and looking to get here tomorrow night... Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be in town to claim it. Just my fucking luck

 

[criesofthepast]

Mine is scheduled to come tomorrow as well. Guess they are overnighting these now. UPS is so unpredictable for me. Sometimes they come before 11 and others in late evening from 6-8. Thankfully don't have class tomorrow and hoping it comes early morn so I don't have to sit around all day to sign.

 

[naldo]

Mine showed up on Monday and I'm feeling the same way. Kind of wish I had waited to try it out at a t-mobile store because coming from a 3GS this thing is almost to the point of being unwieldy. Maybe I'll get used to it though.

Great device otherwise, really liking android.

 

[Hieberrr]

What headset can I use with this? My GALAXY S headset just won't work Something <$10 (even on ebay) would be awesome.

After a while you will find the 3GS screen quaintly small. Virtually guarantee it.

 

[F#A#Oo]

Where did you get it from?

I hope you didn't pay 400£ for it!!

What? No no no. That video is showing off the bumper. That's what I ordered. It's £22 and I've never spent more than £5 on a case, so I held off till I saw it in action.

Give it a few weeks or so. Then try holding an iPhone. You'll be shocked. It's a matter of what you're used to.

This is coming from a guy who thought the Note was too big. But then I bought one and it's totally usable.

 

[Divvy]

My order got switched to pending

 

[SimleuqiR]

My order got switched to pending

As it should. Seriously, Google Wallet and the Play Store should match their status. It was pissing me off that my Wallet had Pending from the time I placed the order, yet the store had not updated its status.

At least now I know the order is actually "real". Just gonna have to wait.

 

[tigerin]

i just got charged by googleplosiontheme on my credit card. did anyone had the same name?

yea, it weird lol. it the same amount but last time it said google play.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

PAGE MONITOR SAID THE 16GB NEXUS 4 PAGE HAS CHANGED!!

it was me signing into Google Wallet...sigh

 

[saltinekracka]

Holy crap!

When can we expect some decent cases to come out for this phone?

 

[tigerin]

why not get the offcial bumper, the guy in the video almost had a orgasm over it.

 

[345triangle]

Who's we?

the verge.

i'm getting kind of antsy about the nexus 4. it better come back in stock before christmas or at least CES, or i'll probably never end up getting one.

the LTE thing might be a deal-breaker in the states, but right now japan is in the perfect storm of having pretty great 3G and pretty average LTE that doesn't represent anywhere near as much of a jump as you'd get in the US. as such, i need this phone.

 

[njean777]

Yeah they don't sell it unlocked.

Are you talking about the iPhone 5? You could have bought a Verizon model and it is unlocked from the factory.

 

[saltinekracka]

Doesn't that just offer protection around the edges?

 

[Gummifaust]

I just ordered a custom made sleeve for my Nexus 4. Already delivered.

 

[tigerin]

it should prevents scratches on your front and back/camera of the phone when you lay it on the surface of a table or such.

 

[twofold]

Yeah, I think 3G is good enough for me.

I'm getting similar speeds in the UK. It's quicker than my home broadband, which is insane. DC-HSDPA is pretty badass.

 

[tigerin]

was anyone able to sell this for profits?
